What others are saying:

Danielle from Danielle's Domain says:"An amazing, heart-wrenching ending to a great series. Another look at all of the big events of the entire series from a different point of view. So many little nuances. This series is such an awesome tangled web of love and pain. Love it! I don't know what Vivian Winslow will be writing next - writing this probably gave her a major hangover - I will be reading it!"

Two Brains of Book Reviewers:"This is a lifetime of memories and an ending that left me choked up. A surprising ending. Yes, it was going to happen. It was no bed of roses like HEA's always end. I was mixed in every emotion but in the end, at feel at peace to end of Poppy's book.If you haven't read The Gilded Series and the two Poppy books, you must. So you will understand why my review is a bundle of emotions and praise."

Amazon.com reviewer: ​"As with the rest of the books in this series, the characters are beautifully crafted, fully developed individuals with complexities which give them a realism and relatability. They made me want to turn the pages to find out what was going on and what would happen next. This story was so well written and just so wonderful, it is the jewel in the Wildflower series crown. Ms. Winslow saved the best till last with this emotive, heart-wrenching, and outstanding story."

EXCERPT

What a miserable thing to have to think about one’s own past. It does nothing but open unhealed wounds and leaves you bleeding all over again. Dare she even admit there were moments after Gustavo left that she thought about Henri? There’s nothing left to do when someone breaks your heart but to remember all the ones who loved you before, even if they broke your heart as well. It felt good to remember someone who had worshipped her, who had pledged his love, even if they turned out to be empty promises. She’d take that over the silence that filled the distance between Brazil and New York. It kept her company when she had nothing else.
